Absurdity arises when one's own speech deviates from common sense, is too poetic, or when one is unable to defend themselves with speech and reason. In Aristotle's book Rhetoric, Aristotle discusses the situations in which absurdity is employed and how it affects one's use of persuasion. The idea of a man being unable to persuade someone by his words is absurd. According to Aristotle, a speech should not be too poetic because it imports absurdity and tastelessness to a speech.

These are not subtle expressions, their critics charge, but slurs and violations. They result not in marriage, nor even in an affair, but in a reconnoiter somewhere in the shadows. Actually, however, the rendezvous takes place in full daylight, with prejudices and fears displayed for the pleasure of thousands, and the point being made may not be as obvious as it at first appears. ...

According to Carlos Clarens, "made for Metro in France, away from all interference, The Magician was saluted upon release by a barrage of negative criticism, mostly on grounds of tastelessness, that sealed the picture's doom. The still photographs, all that are available to the present day, show Ingram at the height of his pictorial talent." However, it has been pointed out that "along with the Tod Browning- Lon Chaney collaborations, The Magician was one of the few serious American horror movies in a time of spoofs."Phil Hardy (ed).
Critics have varied widely, even wildly, in their responses to the play. Many have recognised the play's power, but have complained about the play's extremity and artificiality. (People who dislike aspects of Beaumont and Fletcher's work will find those dislikes amply represented, even crystallised, in this play.)

Logan and Denzell S. Smith, eds.

Producer Allen Klein and the hirelings responsible for 'The Greek Tycoon' lack the courage of their own tastelessness." TV Guide rated the film one star and commented, "If you can't guess who the characters are in this, you must have been living on Mars for the last few decades . . . If scenery, greenery, and lavish living are what you like to see, you may enjoy The Greek Tycoon. If honesty, drama, and real feelings are more to your taste, read a book.
He invokes the same Mock-heroic style in The Dunciad which also employs the language of heroic poetry to describe menial or trivial subjects. In this mock-epic the progress of Dulness over the face of the earth, the coming of stupidity and tastelessness, is treated in the same way as the coming of civilization is in the Aeneid (see also the metaphor of translatio studii). John Gay's Trivia and Beggar's Opera were mock-heroic (the latter in opera), and Samuel Johnson's London is a mock-heroic of a sort.
Gary Arnold wrote in his review for The Washington Post, "Belushi also controls a wicked array of conspiratorial expressions with the audience. ... He can seem irresistibly funny in repose or invest minor slapstick opportunities with a streak of genius". David Ansen wrote in Newsweek, "But if Animal House lacks the inspired tastelessness of the Lampoon's High School Yearbook Parody, this is still low humor of a high order". Robert Martin wrote in The Globe and Mail, "It is so gross and tasteless you feel you should be disgusted but it's hard to be offended by something that is so sidesplittingly funny".

Kaelemakule wrote an article along with a mele kanaenae (traditional Hawaiian chant) on Ko Hawaii Ponoi in honor of her.

Even this deep into the Pebbles series, gems keep surfacing, including covers of an old Frankie Lymon song and "Hey Joe". "That Creature" has almost the same level of tastelessness as the infamous "Spazz" (on Pebbles, Volume 1); the lyrics frantically rage on about some poor guy's ugly girlfriend, with the vocalist being unsure as to whether she comes from the zoo or from outer space (with UFO sounds punctuating the latter impression). There are two nice psychedelic rock songs included; the opening track has some inventive and jarring musicianship, while "My Soap Won't Float" is a weird number in the vein of "Horror Asparagus Stories" (from Pebbles, Volume 3).
He has been linked with the Stuckists art movement because of their similar response to the Young British Artists, the Turner Prize and conceptual art. However, he is equally opposed to their art and, when the Stuckists offered a donation of work to the Tate Gallery, he declared: "If the Tate accepts these ridiculous daubs The Jackdaw will dance naked - except for his favourite swastika armband - down Whitehall singing Mamma Mia." "Daubs and Daubers", stuckism.com Retrieved April 3, 2006 He called the Charles Saatchi's New Blood exhibition in 2004, "an assortment of tricks and stunts that was promoted with desperation and hitherto unsuspected tastelessness ... He promoted a rotten, talentless painter called Stella Vine to public notoriety".
But now, after several performances, one would be subscribing > either to the cabal or to tastelessness if one were to maintain that Herr > Mozart's music is anything but a masterpiece of art. It contains so many > beauties, and such a wealth of ideas, as can be drawn only from the source > of innate genius.Quoted in The Hungarian poet Ferenc Kazinczy was in the audience for a May performance, and later remembered the powerful impression the work made on him: > [Nancy] Storace [see below], the beautiful singer, enchanted eye, ear, and > soul. – Mozart directed the orchestra, playing his fortepiano; but the joy > which this music causes is so far removed from all sensuality that one > cannot speak of it.
The World Before the Flood was bought at its 1828 exhibition by The Marquess of Stafford for 500 guineas (about £ in terms), to add to his collection of nudes by Titian. Etty was delighted with his success at the exhibition, at which all three of the paintings he had exhibited were successfully sold to prestigious buyers. From 1832 onwards, needled by repeated attacks from the press on his supposed indecency and tastelessness, Etty often made a conscious effort to project a moral dimension into his work, although he continued to be a prominent painter of nudes. He died in 1849, working and exhibiting up until his death despite consistently being regarded by many as a pornographer.
The episode's ending received a very mixed public reaction, and generated many letters to publications such as TV Guide regarding the tastelessness of Susan's demise, and the characters' indifference. Heidi Swedberg, who played Susan, has stated she had no problem with her character's death, explaining in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that "A lot of the show's humor is based on the fact that the main characters are not nice people. They admit to things the rest of us think about but don't like to admit." For months after the episode's broadcast, fans recognizing her on the street expressed frustration and resentment regarding her character's fate. Similarly, Jason Alexander claims that fans of George's character turned on him only once, over Susan’s death.
Folk bands in the Pittsburgh area, such as the NewLanders, have both recorded and performed Seeger's version of the song. Composer Paul Hindemith's Pittsburgh Symphony, written in 1958 for the 200th anniversary of the city's founding, quotes the melody of Pittsburgh Town, named "Pittsburgh Is a Great Old Town" by the composer, in the final movement. Gunther Schuller described the use of the tune in the symphony in his review as "the ultimate in paucity of imagination and tastelessness." quoting However, Stephen Luttmann felt that Schuller's criticism misses the point of why Hindemith decided to the motif. In 1959, Vivien Richman released an adaptation of the song on her album Vivien Richman Sings Folk Songs of West Pennsylvania; her version of the song includes several additional verses about the landscape and geography of the region.
Saul spent the 1980s and 90s in Austin, Texas where he taught at the University of Texas. His former students include Erik Parker and Willy Bo Richardson. During this time his content diversified and his style focused on ever more glamorous treatment of “low” subjects, heavily influenced by 19th-century painting. The critic Holland Cotter in a 2008 New York Times review of a retrospective of his work called Saul "a classic artist’s artist, one of our few important practicing history painters and a serial offender in violation of good taste".Holland Cotter, “Peter Saul Manifesto,” August 15, 2008, New York Times Saul’s work has often been independent of specific art movements and thus he "has spent a lifetime avoiding easy critical definition".Christian Viveros-Fauné, “Peter Saul’s Thrilling Tastelessness,” The Village Voice, Dec.
When Samuel Carter Hall was choosing works to illustrate his newly launched The Art Journal, he considered it important to promote new British artists, even if it meant illustrations which some readers considered pornographic or offensive. In 1849 Hall secured reproduction rights to the 157 paintings which Vernon had given to the nation but declined to distribute reproductions of Candaules, despite his willingness to publish reproductions of other provocative Etty nudes such as Female Bathers Surprised by a Swan. Shortly after Candaules was exhibited Etty, needled by repeated attacks from the press on his supposed tastelessness, indecency and lack of creativity, decided to produce an explicitly moral piece. The result was his 1832 The Destroying Angel and Daemons of Evil Interrupting the Orgies of the Vicious and Intemperate, which was seen by many as a renunciation of his earlier, more openly sensual works.
Davis recalled in his typical blunt interview style: According to Davis, McCoy was reluctant at first, but Davis was enthusiastic about the art that McCoy produced: McCoy's cover art for On the Corner depicts a group of cartoon characters, a scene of "ghettodelic" street life among the younger generation of African Americans. The post-1960s, funk-style fashions are similar to the spirit of the blaxploitation film images of the same era. In Concert: Live at Philharmonic Hall included illustrations inside the album by McCoy satirizing mainstream rock and roll music, with a cartoon music label "Slickophonics" and a long-haired white band with the name "Foot Fooler" on the front of the drum kit. In a 1974 review of the album, music magazine Coda characterized McCoy's illustrations for this album, and On the Corner, as "tastelessness".
In the Guardian, critic Alexis Petridis wrote that audiences find Partridge funny partly because they recognise themselves in him, and Edmund Gordon called Partridge "a magnificent comic creation: a monster of egotism and tastelessness". According to Gordon, Partridge allows liberal audiences to laugh at politically incorrect humour as "every loathsome comment is sold to us not as a gag, but as a gaffe". Writing that Partridge "channels the worst excesses of the privileged white man who considers himself nonetheless a victim", New Statesman journalist Daniel Curtis saw Partridge as a precursor to "post- truth" politicians such as Nigel Farage and Donald Trump. Mandatory wrote that Partridge was "a fascinatingly layered and fully realised creation of years of storytelling and a fundamentally contemptible prick – he feels like a living, breathing person, but a living, breathing person that you want to strangle".
'Adrian Howells Obituary', Guardian While working at the Citizens Theatre, Howells met Stewart Laing, and Laing cast Howells alongside the drag performers Leigh Bowery and Ivan Cartwright in a production of Copi's scatological play The Homosexual or the Difficulty of Sexpressing Oneself (1971) -- Laing's first directorial production (co- directed with Gerrard McArthur). The play toured to Glasgow, London and Manchester in 1993-94. Howells recalled that 'Time Out described it as a hymn to tastelessness. I blacked up and was an Asian transsexual with a Carry on up the Khyber accent.’ Wojtas, O. (2008). ‘Performance Artist Dresses Up Academy’s Act with Sole’, Times Higher Education Bowery was a profound influence on Howells and the two were close friends until Bowery's premature death in late 1994.Tilley, S. (1997). Leigh Bowery: The Life and Times of an Icon.
His then series Era of Production delved into the tastelessness of the visual culture mass-produced and disseminated by and for the public, wherein his use of collage and everyday objects implicated a looming conformist attitude that propelled the loss of personal identity under the social construct. Yang emigrated to New York City in 1979 in search for better opportunities; fortunately, his arrival coincided with New York galleries regaining interest for painting in contrary to conceptual and minimalist art, thus Yang smoothly caught on the blossoming era of post-modernism. His series Exploration of Civilization and Archaeology presented pictorial clashes between different cultures that featured juxtapositions of dissimilar iconography, such as symbols of present and past, East and West, or nature and human. Compositions from this period also fashioned vivid contrast between colors and light, a painterly aspect that would later be equally recognized as the artist's signature.
